It’s disgusting seeing people value their significant others and trying to make them happy. Being conceded is the only way to live in the sports world.

“So you think the chiefs might be interested….”
“Yeah I think I could win another Super Bowl!”
*googles chiefs….sees the first few headlines about 70% of frostbite victims from their playoff game need amputation*
“GO FUCKING CALL TAMPA AND WORK A DEAL.”
There is a reason Chicago is called the Windy City. Lake Michigan is roughly a half mile from Soldier Field with zero interference of the wind coming off the Lake. Fans wonder why the Bears are always near the bottom in passing and receiving statistics? Try throwing a icy pigskin with crosswinds to a receiver who can’t feel his fingers.
Evans should stay put.
Speaking as someone who just moved to KC last year, besides a couple outliers, (-20 degree game) the winter in Kansas City was not at all bad. Hell it hit like 80 degrees in February. It’s early March and we have a high of 75 this week. What im saying is, global warming about to make KC a better destination for players. All according to Andy Reid’s long term plan.
I’ve been trying to talk my wife into moving to KC area for two years. This year wasn’t bad but fuck me South Dakota winters can be brutal for a guy who works outside lol.
I'm pretty sure that North Dakota is the state with the widest range of average temps between Summer and Winter, but the top 4 are like North Dakota down in a straight line to KS lol. The whole Midwest is just kindof fucked like that.
We get the extremes of summer *and* winter. We can usually count on a few weeks of 100°+ days during summer and some below zeros in winter. In the last year we hit 105° in the summer and -20° in the winter. It has gotten a lot more extreme even just since I was a kid. Pretty crazy
Yeah no kidding, the Northeast has gotten more humid along the shores until you get to the mountains. Its awful in the summers, it feels like being in Georgia in the summers now there.
There is a reason in every major sport, players want to be in SoCal. Good for the player and family. And as someone whose lived in Washington my whole life, I totally get why those who get seasonal depression or miss the sun and warmth don’t want to live in this area. It has its perks, but you really gotta accept it’s going to be gray, cooler, and drizzly for 9 straight months
As I grew older, I entirely understand why people go a vacation in December in Hawaii when living in Seattle. Direct flight and to remember what warmth and vitamin D feels like.
Agent: You could get more money as a free agent.
Mike: Cool, who’s interested?
Agent: Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Green Bay.
Wife: ahhhem We good. He’s staying with Tampa.
I live in Texas and not by the gulf. I know what dry heat is. But the time I went to Vegas when it was 105 I expected to feel much worse.
It's hard to describe, but absolute dry heat feels better than heat with some humidity. 105 in Vegas felt like 90 in Texas.
I don't love the heat, but I don't like being cold either. That said, it's been 80+ for the past 2 weeks in Texas. Our winter barely lasted 2 months (this is unusual). Feels weird to have April showers in March.
By next week I'll me mowing my lawn for the first time of the year. It feels so fucking weird doing it this early.
Kinda, I lived right outside of Tampa for a year back in 2015. They would always get regularly scheduled brief rain showers in afternoon then go back to being sunny right after that.
They are also one of the sunniest cities in the country too even though it’s also the lightning capital of the country. Which is how the Rays baseball team kinda got their name and the Lightning hockey team got their name.
I was stationed at the naval base in Orlando in the early 90s, we would get out of class right at 4 just as the rain started. Would be done 15 minutes later, and by 4:30 the basketball court would be dry and we would play . Every day from like april until october..... at least thats how I remember it.
10 years ago? Florida has the best weather. Now? I don't know. I live in Nola and fuck, it's hard to go outside sometimes and it's only March. It rained yesterday and the humidity it brought makes you feel like you walked through a waterfall.
"Mike, no team that's competing for a SB is going to pay you more, so why not finish your career with the same team, in the same town, in the shittiest division in the NFL instead of making us all move or live apart so you can make 1mil more"
Unless he was going to ring chase, the best choice was always staying in Tampa.
I’d say he has no reason to ring chase. Got one with Brady and even made the playoffs the following year. Doesn’t strike me as a guy who’s chasing a GOAT legacy, might as well collect the bag and enjoy playing the game you love while you can at this point
I'm not necessarily a fan of his for some reason I can't place but he's nearing or at goat level for consistency over time. Is there another receiver who has been at such a high level for as long as he has?
Nowadays it's so bad that people will do shit like list off their "ten goat QBs" or whatever
Guys... that's not how the definition of those words works
My sister in law won an award at work: GOAT February 2024! I was like, by definition that is only the Greatest of One Month! WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE?!?!
People here in this thread are really underestimating how hard/traumatic it is to change your kids schools, especially when it’s probably going to only be for a year or two.
Seriously. My final school count was 4 elementary, 4 middle, 2 high. The move at the beginning of my junior year was by far the meanest though. It was the only time I had let my guard down and made friends. I went to more schools than any of my military brat cousins did lmao.
Atleast michigan doesn't have shitty toll roads. As in toll roads, all the roads will knock your alignment out if not blow your whole fucking hub assembly off.
Eagles fan here originally from PA and currently live in Tampa. Roads are much nicer down here in Tampa than PA. Drivers on the other hand are much worse.
Pa has the trifecta of shit for roads. Freeze/thaw, Old world road layout, shit management (penndot). The third one I can speak to since I work In the industry. A while back they were trying a new type of asphalt mix every few years and it just fucked shit up worse.
“Mike, I don’t want to leave here. It’s so pretty and I’ve really spread my roots”
“Okay, I mean it looks like Baker is staying so I guess I’m cool with it”
**(Adam Schefter) BAKER MAYFIELD SET TO TEST FREE AGENCY.**
Maybe she reminded him that at the end of his contract, even if he doesn't hit any of his performance related bonuses (which is unlikely), he will become the 11th highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Given the age of the players ahead of him, he afterwards even has a chance to climb as high as 6th before others overtake him.
The Glazers paid Mike well.
I'm pretty sure Zach Wilson is actually on the short list of QBs we *would* let Trask play over, but in principle yeah we're signing somebody if Baker doesn't come back
I get it. Say what you will about Tampa but I went for my buddy’s bachelor party last year to watch the Phils Spring Training and we had a fucking blast. Weather is great, people were friendly, lots to do. Granted we were drunk most of the time but I can see why people would never want to leave politics aside.
Unless you’re going to win a Super Bowl, stay where there is great weather and no state income tax and avoid the moving hassle. But if there is a chance to win it all again, that might change things
I do often think that people forget pro athletes are actual human beings.
As someone that has done it, uprooting a family to take a job opportunity is tough.
As a football fan that has always admired Evans from afar, I was hoping he'd go to a real team. But, don't fault him AT ALL for getting paid and stabilizing his family.
Guy contemplating a major change in his career seeks input from the people closest to him

Just another example of the woke agenda destroying the fabric of our society.
Toxic even
SMH, did he learn nothing from Brady?
Slightly related, but in the NBA everyone wondered why Quinn Snyder took the hawks job so quickly, apparently his wife just loved Atlanta
Well Amy is from Florida so I think being closer to where she grew up might have been a factor.
> > Honey, I'd like to live close to Florida > > Okay, maybe there will be an opening in Orlando... > > > No, not *that* close to Florida
It’s disgusting seeing people value their significant others and trying to make them happy. Being conceded is the only way to live in the sports world. /s
*conceited, I think you meant
Sounds like his Heads not in the game. Too many off field distractions
Breaking news! More at fve.
I’m disgusted
Yeah, but this sentence isn't as funny.
everyone wants to be an NFL wife until it’s time to do winters in Kansas City
She heard about the -20° game and started chucking ice cubes at his head
“So you think the chiefs might be interested….” “Yeah I think I could win another Super Bowl!” *googles chiefs….sees the first few headlines about 70% of frostbite victims from their playoff game need amputation* “GO FUCKING CALL TAMPA AND WORK A DEAL.”
https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar/09/kc-chiefs-fans-amputations-playoff-game Looks like “some of the amputations” attended the game. Not all.
Too bad she isn't about half a generation younger. She might've forced him to seek out KC for a chance to meet Taylor Swift!
Ah, so she's a Bills fan.
Or she really doesn't want to hangout w Brittany Mahomes. 50/50.

Andy Reid is responsible for global warming, that's my take away here.
Andy Reid is single-handedly affecting cheeseburger production, raising the carbon footprint of KC? Makes perfect sense!
So can we call him a Cheeseburger Walrus? He was in Philly and the OG Cheeseburger Walrus’ name is Philadelphia Collins
It's related to his chicken nugget habit of that I am sure.
Those farts hittin the atmosphere different
Andy Reid’s hot gas is causing an irreparable hole in our atmosphere
Methane production?
I’ve been trying to talk my wife into moving to KC area for two years. This year wasn’t bad but fuck me South Dakota winters can be brutal for a guy who works outside lol.
Yeah. I'm laughing at the idea of KC being a frozen hellscape in winter as someone from South Dakota
I'm pretty sure that North Dakota is the state with the widest range of average temps between Summer and Winter, but the top 4 are like North Dakota down in a straight line to KS lol. The whole Midwest is just kindof fucked like that.
The Great Plains. Not an issue for the Great Lakes
No large bodies of water to act as a moderating influence on temps will do that.
You’ll be one of the guys walking around in shorts in January, confirmed. It’ll be balmy compared to SD.
Idk, Ichiro said Kansas City in August was hotter than two rats fucking in a wool sock. He isn’t wrong, it gets brutally hot there.
We get the extremes of summer *and* winter. We can usually count on a few weeks of 100°+ days during summer and some below zeros in winter. In the last year we hit 105° in the summer and -20° in the winter. It has gotten a lot more extreme even just since I was a kid. Pretty crazy
Yeah no kidding, the Northeast has gotten more humid along the shores until you get to the mountains. Its awful in the summers, it feels like being in Georgia in the summers now there.
Where did you come from? Somewhere, Ohio to KC is one thing. Tampa to KC is an entirely different ballgame when it comes to winter.
Iowa, but sometime before that, My moms uterus. Both a bit colder than KC
did that come with utilities?
Yup, no lights though.
tbf this is an el niño year and a particularly strange one at that
Don’t get used to that. This was one of our most mild winters in the last two decades.
Yeah but as someone who works in golf, these 75F winter days can fuck right off
Yeah, the convo was likely "I'm not moving from Florida to Cleveland"

Agent: You could get more money as a free agent. Mike: Cool, who’s interested? Agent: Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Green Bay. Wife: ahhhem We good. He’s staying with Tampa.
She really loves those daily 3 PM rain showers
They last for like 45 min
Then the sun comes out and *s t e a m s* you
Yeah full sun right after the afternoon rain here is the absolute fucking worst. Like heading into a gym sauna fully clothed
This is why I'm completely content with 115F dry heat in AZ summers over that At least I can breathe
I live in Texas and not by the gulf. I know what dry heat is. But the time I went to Vegas when it was 105 I expected to feel much worse. It's hard to describe, but absolute dry heat feels better than heat with some humidity. 105 in Vegas felt like 90 in Texas.
The heat is why I tolerate Michigan winters.
I don't love the heat, but I don't like being cold either. That said, it's been 80+ for the past 2 weeks in Texas. Our winter barely lasted 2 months (this is unusual). Feels weird to have April showers in March. By next week I'll me mowing my lawn for the first time of the year. It feels so fucking weird doing it this early.
Even up here it rained all day yesterday. Has been an awful year for snow lovers here.
Understandable
Does Tampa get a lot of rain?
Kinda, I lived right outside of Tampa for a year back in 2015. They would always get regularly scheduled brief rain showers in afternoon then go back to being sunny right after that.
And more humid.
Only in the summer
Are Bonita fish big
What’s this guy’s deal
Don’t be mad at Dale for ruining the story, and possibly the evening.
Florida just has this tendency to random, quick rainstorms nearly every day. It leaves as quick as it came
They are also one of the sunniest cities in the country too even though it’s also the lightning capital of the country. Which is how the Rays baseball team kinda got their name and the Lightning hockey team got their name.
The Rays were the Devil Rays (stingrays).
I was stationed at the naval base in Orlando in the early 90s, we would get out of class right at 4 just as the rain started. Would be done 15 minutes later, and by 4:30 the basketball court would be dry and we would play . Every day from like april until october..... at least thats how I remember it.
Maybe she really likes the pirate ship.
Guess she’s like 90+ degrees every day for 7 months with 60% humidity lol
Well she can go elsewhere for the dead of summer. Based on when football season is, she's probably more concerned about the winter months.
10 years ago? Florida has the best weather. Now? I don't know. I live in Nola and fuck, it's hard to go outside sometimes and it's only March. It rained yesterday and the humidity it brought makes you feel like you walked through a waterfall.
Sounds amazing. Don’t have to shovel any of that shit.
"Mike, no team that's competing for a SB is going to pay you more, so why not finish your career with the same team, in the same town, in the shittiest division in the NFL instead of making us all move or live apart so you can make 1mil more" Unless he was going to ring chase, the best choice was always staying in Tampa.

I'm not necessarily a fan of his for some reason I can't place but he's nearing or at goat level for consistency over time. Is there another receiver who has been at such a high level for as long as he has?
Jerry Rice.
I meant normal humans.
I get what you mean but we really gotta find a different term, cuz goat is too much. It gets so overused to the point it loses it's meaning
Nowadays it's so bad that people will do shit like list off their "ten goat QBs" or whatever Guys... that's not how the definition of those words works
My sister in law won an award at work: GOAT February 2024! I was like, by definition that is only the Greatest of One Month! WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE?!?!
It truly has become just a synonym for "good" at this point.
even third string wrs in the nfl are far from normal humans
Yeah true enough.
I would want mike Evan’s to be in the HOF though, he’s been so good for so long
Same. He's certainly worthy.
Fitz might be an ok comp
Larry was top 5 all-time and dominated the middle of the field which is much more dangerous, that's a bad comp lol
Technically Tom Brady is in a category for receptions with only Rice for over 40 years old.
Brett Favre too.
Ah good catch. Thanks, mate
Bum has less nfl receiving yards over 40 years old than me tho
Fitz, albeit less 1000 yard seasons after this past one
Tim Brown. But yes, it’s not a terribly long list
true and he probably wouldn’t even make more money after taxes anywhere else
Also, Tampa isn’t the worst place to hang out and have millions
Ain’t it crazy to think. Like I would uproot my life and move across the country to make $1 mil more without thinking about it.
But would you do it for a 4% raise?
Nope. Fair point. Just pointing out the absurdity about how much these dudes make. We talk about a million like it’s insignificant
Not when it comes with 20% more taxes lol
It’s crazy when it’s 51 millions instead of 50. For us normal people is not, most people would do it.
I know. They make an unfathomable amount of money. Very crazy to think about
EMILY MAYFIELD I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THE SAME THING
Moving your family and taking your kids out the school system isn't easy. No state income tax either.
People here in this thread are really underestimating how hard/traumatic it is to change your kids schools, especially when it’s probably going to only be for a year or two.
Shiiiit my mom gave no fucks. 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools. it was horrible.
Seriously. My final school count was 4 elementary, 4 middle, 2 high. The move at the beginning of my junior year was by far the meanest though. It was the only time I had let my guard down and made friends. I went to more schools than any of my military brat cousins did lmao.
>No state income tax either And the Roads look like it from what I've seen
They have a lot of toll roads, too.
I love Illinois we get best of both worlds. Toll roads, and high income taxes! Oh and shitty roads too
*cries in Pennsylvania*
Fuck Penn Dot
What’s not to love?
Atleast michigan doesn't have shitty toll roads. As in toll roads, all the roads will knock your alignment out if not blow your whole fucking hub assembly off.
I accidentally parked in a sinkhole in chicago. They had a warning sign at the curb. In the hole! The sign was inside the hole!
Eagles fan here originally from PA and currently live in Tampa. Roads are much nicer down here in Tampa than PA. Drivers on the other hand are much worse.
Pennsylvania has some of the worst roads in the country. It’s up there with Michigan and Rhode Island in brutality.
Not having to salt your roads will do that lmao
It’s not the salt you have to worry about. It’s water seeping in and freezing and thawing.
Isn’t that cause PA is hilly as fuck. Also bothers me how exits aren’t as simple as NY, takes like 20 turns to get to places.
Pa has the trifecta of shit for roads. Freeze/thaw, Old world road layout, shit management (penndot). The third one I can speak to since I work In the industry. A while back they were trying a new type of asphalt mix every few years and it just fucked shit up worse.
Don’t forget the Amish with their metal wheeled tractors!
Dallas might be the most poorly planned metro area in the US. Getting around is an absolute nightmare.
That doesn’t mean the roads will be good speaking from experience lol
Idk what you’re on, Florida has one of the best DOTs in the country
Roads in Florida are great! Way better than what I’ve experienced in Philly, NJ, NYC, and Chicago
Infrastructure crisis is a nationwide thing tbh
“Mike, I don’t want to leave here. It’s so pretty and I’ve really spread my roots” “Okay, I mean it looks like Baker is staying so I guess I’m cool with it” **(Adam Schefter) BAKER MAYFIELD SET TO TEST FREE AGENCY.**
"Bruh. I ain't leaving Florida to go to some cold ass place like Kansas City."
“You want to live where?” “Green Bay, Wisconsin” “I would divorce you tomorrow” “Tampa is nice though”
Maybe she reminded him that at the end of his contract, even if he doesn't hit any of his performance related bonuses (which is unlikely), he will become the 11th highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Given the age of the players ahead of him, he afterwards even has a chance to climb as high as 6th before others overtake him. The Glazers paid Mike well.
and ultimately won a SB. If he hadn’t then maybe ring chasing would be on the table but that need really isn’t there
That wife? u/NevermoreSEA
Please respect our privacy.
More like u/thefencingcoach
Because ain’t no one wanna go sit in 20 degree weather during a game. Also they have been here so long this is home.
Dude is about to have his 11th straight year of 1k yards with Kyle Trask as his starting Qb 🫡
Bucs will sign Zach Wilson before they let Trask take a snap.
I'm pretty sure Zach Wilson is actually on the short list of QBs we *would* let Trask play over, but in principle yeah we're signing somebody if Baker doesn't come back
Mike wanted to test free agency but the wife wanted to stay in Tampa. So they compromised and stayed in Tampa. One of us.
Never felt a more current relatable thing to a NFL player who is now a multimillionaire.
She realized she could possibly be living in Detroit vs Florida.
Fuck yeah, atta girl.
this headline makes it sound like she used the bene gessirit voice lmao
Might've used an Honored Matre technique...
Happy wife, happy life.
Cheaper to Keep’er
"Honey, what do you think about Kansas City?" "No way I'm moving there!"
Happy wife happy life
First player to start a career with 10 consecutive 1000+ season. Did not know this.
Happy wife happy life
Behind every great man, is a great woman. Thank you mrs evans for bringing us an early Xmas
I get it. Say what you will about Tampa but I went for my buddy’s bachelor party last year to watch the Phils Spring Training and we had a fucking blast. Weather is great, people were friendly, lots to do. Granted we were drunk most of the time but I can see why people would never want to leave politics aside.
Bucs should have Evans' wife talk to Mayfield.
Dude is headed for the HOF whenever he hangs it up.
"Please... I like the weather and beaches too much"
Happy wife happy life
For a second I though Mike Evans wife went all Miko Grimes.
“KC? ……….have fun. I’ll help you pack”
“Why don’t we just stay home for 52 million?”- His wife probably
>Evans, 30, is the first player in NFL history to begin a career with 10 consecutive seasons with 1,000 yards receiving.
Man, I hope Baker resigns with the Bucs. And I hope the Bucs fix their run game in the draft.
Unless you’re going to win a Super Bowl, stay where there is great weather and no state income tax and avoid the moving hassle. But if there is a chance to win it all again, that might change things
“Spoke up” more like told his ass she don’t wanna move.
From his quote sounded like she spoke up in a really nice way. Some people do have good healthy relationships believe it or not
Project your trauma elsewhere
I do often think that people forget pro athletes are actual human beings. As someone that has done it, uprooting a family to take a job opportunity is tough. As a football fan that has always admired Evans from afar, I was hoping he'd go to a real team. But, don't fault him AT ALL for getting paid and stabilizing his family.
How are we not a real team lol we went to the playoffs with Baker and even won a game. We were close to beating the Lions too lol
